I love Greta Thunberg and this piece came in very handy when trying to share her thou A stunningly illustrated book sending the message about protecting the environment and working together to send the message to the world. Based on Greta Thunberg's mission to save our environment. In this book, Greta tries to save a forest. The animals speak with her and she takes on the giants who tear down the forest and build cities, etc.

I had some mixed feelings about this book jumping on the Greta Thunberg bandwagon. Greta herself is all about action, not about accolades, Recently she turned down an award of some fifty thousand dollars because that's not what she's about - although I do have to confess I don't get why she didn't accept it and donate the money to some organization that's doing something about the climate! But it was her choice, not mine, and I have to express some concern about those who might want to co-opt her good will and momentum, and try to profit from it. When I started reading this I was surprised, as I expected it to be a picture book depicting the life of Greta Thunberg. I have read a number of books about Greta recently for middle grade and older readers, so I thought a picture book would be a great addition to this collection. Greta Thunberg is a fearless advocate of our times and this gorgeous picture book will inspire children across the world to look at climate change and her story, and also imagine, that they too can make a change. This picture book gives us hope. The following tool will allow you to explore the relevant curriculum matches for this resource. To start, select a grade listed below.I will be getting this book for my family and friends because how can you resist a good illustrated inspiring story! This is a story of how one person can help create change, and working together for the benefit of everyone. Greta Thurnberg, the Swedish teenager who has warned the entire world about climate change, is living in the forest and giants are chopping down the trees and destroying the environment. Greta points out the harm they are doing and, eventually, the giants stop their damage. What's especially reassuring about this book is that, even though the giants are, initially, so destructive, they learn through education and listening that the damage must stop or the consequences will be deadly. The picture book uses an allegory of giants who have cut almost all the forest where little Greta lives to stand for governments and corporations, key players in our current environmental crisis. This beautifully illustrated story is easy to understand and follow even for very young children, and it carries a very important message: we have a serious problem which can only be solved if we act together.

The mass protests happening around the world are what we need to ensure that the giants listen- in our world the governments and businesses. A fitting farewell, still funny, acute, and positive in its view of human nature even in its 37th episode.In the book there is a happy end as the giants realize they have been causing damage to the nature by their careless expansion of factories. They completely change their lifestyle and gradually replant the forest to make it even more beautiful than it was before. In real life... we can and should make a diffrence. At the end of the book there are a few suggestions: learn and become more aware of what is happening, ask your caretakers/teacher help you get to a protest or write to politicians and decision-makers, use public transport and persuade your family to take a good look at your carbon print. Every little thing helps and if we start teachingour children that their opinion and their actions matter, perhaps there is a hope for us.
